About This Book

A biographical narrative follows a noblewoman raised amid Enlightenment skepticism and courtly life, her marriage and personal struggles, and her son’s emigration to America where he embraces Catholic ministry and establishes a religious settlement, serving as its pastor. The account situates their lives within social and political currents of the era, examines faith, family duty, and cultural tensions, and concludes with the community’s reverent commemoration of the founder in his final days.
